We may not see a Farm Bill moving yet - but in the state of Wisconsin, there's policy decisions coming together quickly.  Bob Bosold catches up with Jordan Lamb, legal advisor to many agriculture organizations in Wisconsin.  The conversation covers everything from the governor's upcoming proposed budget to existing programs continued performance.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for a large part of Wisconsin today.  Stu Muck gives us an hourly breakdown on how quickly the snow will be moving in.

Steffes Group auction company was visible at the WI Corn/Soy Expo.  That's where Pam Jahnke caught up with Ashley Huhn to talk about the current overall value he's seen in used equipment.  Huhn says prices may be a little lower than fourth quarter 2024, but still firm versus new.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

While the federal government has pushed pause on some funding that was helping Wisconsin farmers with things like conservation efforts - Wisconsin's governor is proposing more funding for the state's agriculture.  Stephanie Hoff captured a few quotes from Organic Valley and Edge Dairy Cooperative on how they're monitoring federal funds being frozen.  Both agree, it's a 'wait and see' situation.

Pam Jahnke gets some details on what Governor Tony Evers would like to see adopted in his 2025-27 budget, which he'll be offering later this month.  Wisconsin Ag Secretary, Randy Romanski, tells Jahnke that currently there's $80 million in investments being proposed including more money for farmers mental health services, the popular ARIP(Ag Road Improvement Program) getting more money, and a new pilot - Dairy Agriculture Resilience Investment Now Grant (DARING) Program aimed at supporting on-farm projects that improve resilience and efficiency of farm operations, such as upgrading IT infrastructure, milking equipment, or milk processing equipment.
